On July 26, the exact anniversary of his groundbreaking debut, Jeezy will release TM:101 Live — A Symphonic Reimagining of Hip-Hop History—a powerful, poetic, and polished rework of his genre-defining album. The reissue promises to be a cinematic, soul-stirring celebration of trap music's legacy, complete with a full orchestra.

According to an official press release, Jeezy teamed up with GRAMMY and EMMY-winning musical director Adam Blackstone and acclaimed composer Derrick Hodge to reimagine his street anthems alongside the Color of Noize Orchestra.
Classics like 'Soul Survivor', 'Go Crazy', 'My Hood,' and Trap or Die have been transformed into lush, layered orchestral compositions that still pack every ounce of their original grit, just dressed in grandeur. Now, TM:101 Live serves as living proof that trap music was always symphonic; it just needed a conductor like Jeezy to bring it to life in a new dimension.
'20 years in the game, it's more than music—it's purpose. And that is and always has been to inspire and elevate the culture!' said Jeezy in an official statement about the album. 'Thank you to those who never stop believing!'
And for the vinyl heads, Jeezy is announcing that TM:101 Live will drop on two exclusive pressings: a limited edition orange vinyl (just 300 copies via Fat Beats) and a purple version available at Urban Outfitters. The album will also hit all major streaming platforms.
In addition to the album, Jeezy is continuing to bring Black-tie elegance to Hip-Hop, turning concert halls into sanctuaries of street symphonies with his Jeezy's TM:101 Live tour, a black-tie symphonic experience that has been moving audiences from Miami to Detroit.
A press release reports that most dates have sold out, which serves as a testament to the hunger for real hip-hop, presented with the reverence it has always deserved.
'20 years of victories, struggles, and growth—every setback was worth it,' said Jeezy about TM: 101 Live. 'If I could talk to my younger self in '05, I'd say: 'They might hear you in '05, but in 2025, they gon' feel you!' You're doing God's work! Keep going!' Pre-Order Jeezy's TM 101: Live HERE.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner Was America's Brother
I am sad, so profoundly sad. I screamed, literally, on a call, when an alert crossed my laptop this week that Malcolm-Jamal Warner had died. I could not believe it, did not want to believe he, my friend, had drowned during a swim, somewhere in Costa Rica, while on a vacation with his wife and little daughter. Fifty-four, only 54-years-old. Why do the good often go prematurely? Matthew Perry. Tupac Shakur. Amy Winehouse. Kurt Cobain. Marilyn Monroe. Aaliyah. Bobby Kennedy. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Billie Holiday. Bruce Lee. Selena. Janis Joplin. Vincent van Gogh. Whitney Houston. James Dean. Princess Diana. Brittany Murphy, the list is diverse, mythical, and, yes, so profoundly sad. Meanwhile, we have also had a relentless parade of Black male celebrities—Chadwick Boseman, Kobe Bryant, DMX, Michael K. Williams, and more than I dare to count this decade—just go, gone, none of them even remotely senior citizens. Any death troubles my soul mightily, no matter who it is, famous or not. But I must admit, without shame, that it hurts in a certain kind of way any time I hear of another Black man gone, as elder Black folks often say, before their time. The late actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner attends the Disney ABC Television Group TCA summer press tour at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on August 6, 2017, in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic/Getty Images Now it is Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Emmy-nominated actor. Grammy-winning musician. Grammy-nominated poet. Beloved husband, father, son. I do not recall when nor where nor how I first personally met him, but it was back in the day. Nevertheless, like hundreds of millions of viewers across the planet I was introduced to Malcolm-Jamal via The Cosby Show, one of only three U.S. television programs which have been No. 1 in ratings for five seasons (the others: All In The Family and American Idol). To say The Cosby Show was revolutionary and game-changing would be a gross understatement. In the 1980s America of Ronald Reagan, the AIDS and crack epidemics, and the initial explosion of brands like Apple and Nike, the show was a unicorn. It saved a struggling NBC network. It introduced our nation to a different way of viewing the Black experience. It became a global pop culture phenomenon during its eight-season run. We had never witnessed a Black family like this in television history: two professional parents with five children—four girls and one boy—supremely confident in their beings, the entire household a manifestation of the post-civil rights era of what was possible. No racist stereotypes, no demeaning facial expressions, no bowed heads, and no broken bodies from the old Hollywood. Yes, legit and righteous representation do matter, and as the lone male child in the clan Malcolm-Jamal remixed Theo Huxtable with an enchanting recipe of Black boy joy, a cool jazz meets hip-hop swagger, and an unsatiable thirst for the wholeness of life. Bill Cosby acts with Malcolm-Jamal Warner in a scene from "The Cosby Show." Bill Cosby acts with Malcolm-Jamal Warner in a scene from "The Cosby Show." Jacques M. Chenet/CORBIS/Corbis via Getty Images I am just slightly older than Malcolm-Jamal and never thought I would see someone like him on television. But there he was, in living color. I was inspired. I was doubly amped when I learned he had been born in Jersey City, N.J. like me. He was me and I was him. In Malcolm-Jamal's smile and laughter were mine, too. In his struggles from boyhood to manhood were my trials and tribulations, too. He was a kindred spirit, and, moreover, what Mary Tyler Moore meant to women 10 years earlier is what Malcolm-Jamal Warner meant to Black America, to boys Black like me. No, we cannot delete what the show's creator, Bill Cosby, has been charged with these many moons later. The rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment allegations are brutal and "tarnished," as Malcolm-Jamal said in one interview, the great legacy of The Cosby Show, likely forever. But we also cannot merely throw away this historic TV show and its participants because of one person. The Malcolm-Jamal Warner that I came to know, as an actor, as a musician, as a fellow poet, as a voice, leader, and bridge-builder, was kind, supportive, and genuinely full of hope and love. If one simply scans any social media platform since the tragedy one will see the testimonies, from a wide spectrum, saying the exact same. Malcolm-Jamal Warner was a very different kind of man. Alas, I do not know what Malcolm-Jamal Warner thought about the accusations against his TV father other than a few statements here and there that one can easily Google. I imagine that he was tormented, and torn. I never spoke with him about being on a hit TV show so early in life. He knew I knew, just like I know he knew I had been on the very first season of MTV's The Real World. Ours was a safe space, two products of pop culture, who preferred to speak about poetry, music, and hip-hop. Two Black men in America, on this Earth, trying to navigate any and all spaces, perpetually, as we journeyed through the chapters of Reagan, the Bushes, the Clintons, Obama, Biden, and Trump. I do know in losing Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and the way we lost him, with so much breath still to breathe, leaving his wife and daughter and mother and father behind, is collective trauma that is unexplainable. I have cried, my wife has cried, my wife's mother and so many others we know have cried. Because losing him is akin to losing a blood relative, a close friend. Because Malcolm-Jamal, named after civil rights icon Malcolm X and jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal, was truly the brother we all needed.

We've had so many wonderful people that have worked on this show, and I think you're gonna love everybody's part because they have worked so hard.

Advertisement Well, my high school class, we went to New York to the World's Fair. And that was the year that every taxi cab in New York said, 'Hello, Dolly.' That's when the musical 'Hello, Dolly' was there, and I thought, wow. I can't wait to see my name on a taxi cab again… I want you to know that we're so happy that we get to do this in my hometown here in Nashville…' She concluded her charming speech by telling the crowd not to sing along to the songs they know and love.

Tyler Perry Says He Fired His Aunt Because She 'Wouldn't Come to Work': 'That Doesn't Work for Me'
Tyler Perry is opening up about working with family. The director, 55, appeared as a guest on the July 20 episode of YouTube series Den of Kings, where he shared with host Kirk Franklin and fellow guests Derrick Hayes and Jay "Jeezy" Jenkins a recent experience in which he hired an aunt to work for him. "She said she wanted a job. She would always call asking for money. I said, 'Okay,' I would send her the money," Perry told the group. "But then I was like, 'Listen, I want to help you. I want to help you build this thing, not be welfare to you. So, let me give you a job.' " The Madea's Destination Wedding director and actor said his aunt ended up not coming to work. "So, I'm like, 'Okay, well you gotta go.' You want me to hand you the money, but you don't want to work for it. See, that doesn't work for me.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Perry continued, noting that he holds the same standards of work ethic for his 10-year-old son Aman. "There are certain things that he wants. He has to do chores and work for it. I don't believe in just giving us things that are just going to handicap us. That is the worst thing you can do." The Emmy winner also revealed that after his mother passed away in 2009, he sent letters to family members saying they needed to get a job within 60 days because he would not be financially supporting them anymore. "Are you serious?" Franklin asked, to which Perry replied, "100%. They all got jobs." Perry most recently debuted the latest film in the Madea movie franchise, Tyler Perry's Madea's Destination Wedding, which comes amid the 20th anniversary of the franchise overall. Reflecting on two decades of entertaining audiences onscreen with Madea, Perry told PEOPLE, "I'm filled with a tremendous amount of pride when I think of how Madea has continuously captivated audiences throughout the years." "She's meant to bring joy, laughter and comfort, and to see people are still watching and enjoying is a wonderful thing," he added. Read the original article on People
